Module 9 Scientific Research Team Learning Objectives Best Practices for Biomedical Research Data Management Module 9 Scientific Research Team Learning Objectives 1. Describe a project where researchers and a librarian worked together to find a way to uniquely identify data 2. Understand how librarian skills used in the past to identify and catalog publications can be easily transferred to doing the same for data objects and collections of data objects 3. Recognize the potential of partnerships between librarians and researchers 4. Identify different roles librarians may play with research teams 5. Describe new professional skills librarians and researchers can develop through working together 2 Structure of a Research Team Diversity: ● Co-investigators, technical and clerical staff and postgraduate research students ● Disciplinary backgrounds, motivations and aspirations, and cultural backgrounds Balance: ● Skills, expertise and other contributions appropriate to achieve the team's objectives ● Behavioural traits or work characteristics aligned to particular 3 roles in the team Team Science Team science is a collaborative effort to address a scientific challenge that leverages the strengths and expertise of professionals trained in different fields. Coordinated teams of investigators with diverse skills and knowledge may be especially helpful for complex studies. 4 Collaborative Scientific Research Project The National Library of Medicine awards supplemental grants to NIH grantees to include an informationist (academic librarian) to contribute library science skills to the research project. The purposes of this program are: ● to enhance collaborative, multi-disciplinary basic and clinical research by integrating an information specialist into the research team in order to improve the capture, storage, organization, management, integration, presentation and dissemination of biomedical research data ● to assess and document the value and impact of the informationist’s participation 5 Positive Feedback “The main goal of the NLM administrative supplement award is to enhance biomedical research through the integration of an informationist focused on data management. The results of the survey and focus group show that informationists can make many contributions to this area. According to the PIs, informationists had a positive impact on their research process and helped them make progress toward their research goals. When considering the data management issues that were the focus of the award, informationists had impact in several areas, including data storage, data archiving, and data management planning, and were able to help the PIs make informed decisions about their data. Moreover, the informationists were able to contribute their expertise to other areas such as literature searching, which helped the team make progress toward their research outcomes.” “Assessing the National Library of Medicine’s Informationist Awards” http://dx.doi.org/10.7191/jeslib.2016.1095 6 How a Librarian/Informationist can Assist in Research Projects ● Literature searching ● Citation assistance ● Database design ● Data management ● Connect with other useful services on campus ● Co-authoring publications 7 Roles within the Lifecycle CU Anschutz Health Science Library Data Services http://www.slideshare.net/CTobinMagle/cu-anschutz-health-science-library-data-service 8 s Example Project The videos in this module provide both a researcher and a librarian perspective from collaborating on a project to: ● Develop a standard for how to uniquely identify and cite shared/reused data so the data creator is credited ● Use a neuroimaging repository developed by the researcher as a case study ● Project located at University of Massachusetts Medical School Department of Psychiatry 9.

    Tara Wink. Archival Collection Development Policies: A Study of their Content and Collaborative Aims. A Master's paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. April, 2010. 58 pages. Advisor: Christopher Lee Collection development is an important aspect of archival theory and work; however, few studies have looked at collection development in practice. It has also been suggested that collection development policies and plans can help to limit competition by including discussions of collaborative agreements. This paper describes a study of online archival collection development policies to determine what these documents contain and whether or not collaboration and competition are discussed. This study searched the websites of 334 repositories’ to identify online collection development policies. Available policies were then coded using the 26 elements defined in Faye Phillips’ 1984 guidelines for archival collection development policies. Available discussions of collaboration within the policies were also coded. The results suggest that repositories are using a variety of materials when writing policies and collaborative agreements in policies are the exception rather than the rule. Headings: Archives.

The tudys participants, cataloging department heads, report that cataloger librarian roles are expanding to include cataloging more electronic resources and local hidden collections in addition to print materials. They ra e also creating non-MARC metadata. The increased usage of vendor products and services is also affecting the roles of cataloger librarians at some institutions. The ra ticle explores what skills cataloger librarians will need in the future and how libraries are providing training for that future.

In the United States, public libraries have been woven into the social and spatial fabric of neighborhood life, whether urban, suburban, or rural, and they enjoy immense popularity: According to a 2014 study from the Pew Research Center (2014), 54 percent of people in the United States use a public library each year, 72 percent of people live in a household with a regular library user, and libraries are viewed as important community resources by 91 percent of people. As library historian Wayne Wiegand (2011) has repeatedly pointed out, there are more public libraries in the United States than there are McDonald’s.

Library information school (LIS) students without training in scientific disciplines express concerns about pursuing a career in engineering librarianship. Why don’t they get onto the science/technology (sci/tech) bandwagon? What information and inspiration are necessary to sail toward the science and engineering horizons of our profession? A successful transition from graduate student to practicing engineering librarian requires a complex combination of knowledge and skills.

  • Education for Librarianship
    Education for Librarianship DONALD G.'DAVIS, JR. A SURVEY OF American education for librarianship in the past century requires that one begin more than a decade before a formal instructional program in the profession came into being, and bring that story to the present. Fortunately, library educators have exhibited interest in the history of their movement from its early years, and capable scholars have presented both histories of individ- ual schools and periodic summary interpretations, as well as detailed studies of specific chronological periods.' The following essay at- tempts to draw this body of literature together and to put it into a general framework. The century of development divides into seven periods of varying length, each comprising a separate unit, but each building on the continuing issues or problem solutions of the previous period. A brief view of the state of librarianship since the mid-nine- teenth century will help to establish a setting for discussion of the half-century following 1876. THE PRELUDE: BEFORE 1876 In the second half of the nineteenth century librarians, not unlike practitioners of other professions, assumed their positions with a great variety of background preparation. The custodians of collec- tions prepared themselves for their responsibilities according to their abilities and opportunities.' Although biographical sketches and reminiscences provide a complete spectrum of variation, several methods of preparation proved helpful. Experience gained from exposure to current library operations and from attention to the existing professional literature was the most common avenue of training. The ways in which this experience took place varied. Mary Wright Plummer outlined three common methods in 1901: learning Donald G.
